Silvana Claassen | Sr. Carbon Advisor

Silvana assists businesses and organisations in measuring, reducing and offsetting their carbon emissions. As a result, she helps them become climate leaders.

Becoming climate neutral: a carbon footprint is the first step to become a climate neutral organisation.

Map out an internal carbon price: Your current carbon footprint defines the internal carbon cost to your organisation. Reducing the footprint, reduces the cost. An internal carbon price is also used as a parameter to manage risks of future investments.

Become a sustainable business brand: Our footprinting software solution CO2management allows you to set up a standardised monitoring system to improve your score at reporting standards such as the CDP. Higher scoring increases your reputation and profile as a sustainable business.

IN SHORT

Knowing your carbon footprint is important as it is the starting point for developing an effective corporate climate change strategy.

CO2MANAGEMENT

CO2management enables you to easily calculate your carbon footprint: all you need is to define your scope boundaries. You then feed the CO2management database with your monthly, quarterly or annual data for electricity, transportation, processes etc. Once you entered your data, the tool automatically generates a carbon footprint report following the GHG Protocol standard.

By using CO2management continuously, you can track your carbon performance over time and identify emission hot spots sooner rather than later.

MAKE BUSINESS SENSE

The transition to a low-carbon economy is underway and accelerating globally. Every company in every sector will be transformed. Companies are getting on track now for low-carbon and future-proof growth by setting a science-based target.

Science-based targets provide companies with a clearly defined pathway to future-proof growth by specifying how much and how quickly they need to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

What is a science-based target?

A science-based target is a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target that is in line with the level of decarbonisation required to keep global temperatures below 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial temperatures, as described in the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR5).

Science-based targets help companies to:

Improve profitability and competitiveness, ensuring a lean and efficient company that is resilient to a
resources-constraint future

Manage compliance risk by taking control of regulatory uncertainties

Drive innovation

Strengthen investor confidence and credibility as well as bolster reputation among stakeholders and customers

IN SHORT

Science-based target setting is a valuable tool for companies to ensure that their transformational action is aligned with current climate science. It is also recognised to be best practice in emission reduction target setting.

CARBON OFFSETS

Not all carbon emissions can be eliminated, no matter how hard you try. Offsetting unavoidable greenhouse gases allows businesses like yours to tackle climate change efficiently by financing low-carbon energy projects which reduce emissions elsewhere.

By offsetting your impact on the environment and purchasing the equivalent amount of carbon credits from certified offset projects, you are taking full responsibility for emissions that can’t be eliminated.

Carbon offsetting is a cost-effective way of easing your impact on the climate, strengthening your social and sustainability commitments, and becoming a better business.

BENEFITS OF CARBON OFFSETTING

Carbon offsetting can help your business to:

reduce its carbon tax

improve its B-BBEE scorecard

support its CSI policy

win new business

build brand value

gain competitive advantage

motivate staff & customers

IN SHORT

Our high quality projects sharpen your positioning and assist you in reaching corporate sustainability commitments - all while working towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
